Party etiquette（礼节）

When to arrive

It’s not polite to arrive at a dinner more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all the guests to arrive before serving the meal. If someone is late, the food may be spoiled, and so might the host or hostess’s spirits. If you have to be late, call and tell them to start without you.

It’s even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be ready. If you are early, drive or walk around the block a few times, or just sit in your car until the right time.

Present

It’s nice to bring an empty stomach, but it’s even nicer to bring a small present. The present should not cost a lot, or you might make the host or hostess uneasy. Flowers, wine, or a box of candy will be fine.

Leaving

Dinner guests should stay at least one hour after dinner. Stay as long as you like, but look for the evidence that the host is tired, for example, when the host starts cleaning up.

Party wear

When in doubt, it is better to dress down（穿的低调些）than up. Or, better yet, do some checking. Ask your hosts, or another guest, to make sure the type of clothing and degree of formality (正式程度).

Informal or casual（非正式）means: something informal and comfortable but neat, pressed (不昂贵的), and clean. Semiformal（半正式）l generally means that women wear dresses or suits. Men wear either suits and ties or sports shirts, a sports jacket, a tie, and slacks(便裤). Black tie or formal（正式）means men should wear tuxedos (无尾晚礼服) with a soft shirt and bow tie. Women either wear long dresses, or a short, cocktail-length dress, depending upon the occasion.
